Welcome back!






Welcome back to Term 4!

We had a busy last two days of term 3.  

Here are some of us dressed in our pj's for 'Pyjama Day.'   (Even Mr Vasau wore his dressing gown and slippers!)



'Wake up sleepy heads."  


Motat

On the last day of term 3 we all boarded the bus to Motat to complete our unit about flight.

The children represented our school extremely well and you should be proud of them! Here are  a few photos to show you some of what we saw.


Thank you to the fantastic parent help who joined us on the day.  We could not have gone without your support!! 





We did some experiments to learn about drag, lift, thrust and weight.  


            What a great day of experimenting and exploring.



Niuean Language Week

Fakalofa lahi atu,

Rowandale School is celebrating Niuean Language Week!  This morning we all met as a school in front of the flagpole to raise the Niuean flag, sing the National Anthem and listen to a group of children share some facts about Niue.





The flag is  yellow to represent the warmth and sunshine of Niue.
We will be doing some weaving in class this week so make sure you pop back to see our work!


Jellybeans Music Programme

This term we will be learning about music from around the world.  We are also going to have some music lessons run by a music specialist from a provider called 'Jellybeans.'  Today was our first lesson and we began to learn about beat and rhythm.  

Tufala, Taffiny, Bethel and Hanna are using sticks to tap out a beat.

Thank you for continuing to support your child's education.  

Regards,
Mrs Hawley-Simmonds
